I idle up to 3,000 rpms... is this normal after having taken all that apart.. i had to take off the throttle body positioning sensor... is there a special way to twist and put on or does it just go right on?

So I guess is it my TB Positioning sensor or is it normal?

It'* done this twice:
It goes straight to 2,000 then after about 8 seconds it gently increases towards 3,000 (or higher) but I shut it off around 3,000 rpms

I also have a small antifreeze leak between the LIM and my thermostat housing and between the thermostat housing and upper radiator hose. The below gasket (LIM gasket) which i replaced remains leak free. I cleaned off the surface of the Thermostat housing because it had gunk build up. Maybe that'* why?

Well it ended up being the Trottle body positioning sensor. You could either put it on and turn left or right. I turned it right instead of left to line up the screw holes. The spring inside the TB pos. sensor was actually holding the TB open a little, hence high idle.

Other than that, I fixed the leak from the rad. hose to the T-stat housing by scraping off all the gunk from the previous dex-cool.

Still leaking from the LIM to the T-stat housing. So, I am going to go pick up that little rubber gasket.
